Lady A receives CRB Artist Humanitarian Award

Lady Antebellum were greeted with a standing ovation at the presentation of the CRB Artist Humanitarian Award this year, which recognizes musicians for their charitable efforts, as they took the stage Wednesday afternoon to accept their trophies.

"When we started as a band, we used to have conversations about getting to a point where we could use this platform for something good," said Hillary Scott.

In recent years, Lady A has founded LadyAID — an organization dedicated to helping children worldwide —as well as participated in numerous fundraisers, charity concerts and other philanthropic events; according to Dave Haywood, Lady A has many more plans in store to continue making a difference in the lives of others.

Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital

children, is nationally recognized as a leading provider of pediatric health care services. Experts treat and
work to prevent all health issues ranging from common childhood conditions to serious, advanced diseases.

Featuring Centers of Excellence for the treatment of diabetes and congenital heart disorders, Children’s

UNHCR

The United Nations refugee agency, UNHCR, was established on December 14, 1950, by the United Nations General
Assembly. Its primary purpose is to safeguard the rights and well-being of refugees. It strives to ensure that
everyone can exercise the right to seek asylum and find safe refuge in another country, with the option to
return home voluntarily, integrate locally or to resettle in a third country. It also has a mandate to help
stateless people.

In more than six decades, the agency has helped tens of millions of people restart their lives. Today, a
staff of some 7,685 people in more than 125 countries continues to help some 33.9 million persons.

St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital

Since opening 50 years ago, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has changed the way the world treats
childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. No family ever pays St. Jude for the care their child
receives and, for every child treated here, thousands more have been saved worldwide through St. Jude
discoveries. The hospital has played a pivotal role in pushing U.S. pediatric cancer survival rates from 20 to
80 percent overall, and is the first and only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center
devoted to children.

It is also a leader in the research and treatment of blood disorders and infectious diseases in children. St.
Jude was founded by the late entertainer Danny Thomas, who believed that no child should die in the dawn of
life. Join that mission by visiting stjude.org or following us on facebook.com/stjude and twitter.com/stjude

MyLifeSpeaks

myLIFEspeaks exists to speak up for those around the world who can't speak for themselves by bringing
LIFE-giving aid to orphans with and without special needs and showing all people around the globe their worth.
This happens by allowing orphans with special needs and typical orphans the opportunity to grow up together in
the same family environment--what we call our Campus Family.

When myLIFEspeaks began, our hopes and dreams were to be able to make a difference in one village in Haiti--a
village called, Neply. As our mission statement says, we exist to SPEAK UP for those who can't SPEAK for
themselves. This phrase has quickly become more than a mission statement...it is our way of LIFE. Daily in
Neply we work to EMPOWER FAMILIES to LIVE LIFE together. We are active in the community providing Pregnant
Mother Care, an Infant Feeding Program, a Feeding Program for school-age children, and the cornerstone of what
we do--our Mentor Program. We believe that Neply will change through education and HOPE...and our commitment
is to be there to see this change happen.
